TOY STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 272,664, dated February20, 1883.

Application filed July 27, [882. (Nb model.)

Be it known that I, ELIAS DURLACH, acitizen of the United States ofNorth America, and a resident of Brooklyn, county of Kings, State of NewYork, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Toy Stoves, of whichthe following is a specification.

In the construction ot'tin toy stoves,the opening for the grate or fireplate is ordinarily made by cutting out and removing a piece of themetal ot the dimensions ot'the openingfrom the stove-front; and agrateis then made ofa piece of tin larger than said opening, cut andbentin proper shape, and soldered by its upper edge on the inside of thestove-front. This method or form of construction is, however, faulty,because involving an unnecessary waste of metal and solder and increasedlabor. and because the grate quickly becomes detached in use.

The object of my invention is to avoid these objectionable features; andit consists of a grate forming an integral portion of the stove itself.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings. forming part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a front elevation of a toy stove showing my invention. Fig.2 is a reduced perspective view of a stove-front, showing my inventionin reverse. Fig.3 is an enlarged section on line x a, Fig. 2.

In-the drawings, Arepresentsa tin toy stove,

and A the front thereof.

To fotm the grate B two vertical parallel cuts, aa,and a horizontalconnecting-cut, b, are made in the central portion of the front A. Thenthe grate-bars care formed in said partly cut-away central portion bycutting out and removing alternate vertieal strips, leaving the spaces01 alternating with the bars c,.whicl| latter ate connected at theirlower ends by a strip, f, that is also permitted to remain. Then thelower part of the central portion of the from; A is bent upward andinward, as shown, thus forming a grate, B, which is attached along itsupper edge to the stove-front A, and forms an integral portion thereof.

Having thus described my invention, I claim asnew and desire to secureby Letters Patent- A toy-stove grate constructed substantially as hereinshown and described, and forming an integral portion of the stove, asset forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname, in presence of two witnesses, this 19th day'of July, 1582.
